Happy Hellos!

My name is Anna and I'm a Pole living recently in Airdrie (near Calgary in Canada), hopeless in love with paper. Usually sitting in my studio between 8pm and midnight, if my energy lasts that long after another day with a toddler Jakob and a baby Lisa. I love to share my crafts with you, please be my guest!

Back to work!/Z powrotem do pracy!

Hi everyone,
the title of this post has the double meaning, let me explain:
Firstly my inspiration is back and I have nice ideas again, especially for the scrapbook pages. Thanks Heaven, the lack of my inspiration did not last long. I decided to start something different than the cards and that helped. Our son is almost a year old and I did not make any scrapbook pages with his pictures, so it's just about time! It is a big change to work on such a big surface than a 9.5cm x 14cm card.
Secondly I have returned to work after my maternity leave and it feels really good to be back in the (new) office!
First days I was the one, who was crying instead of Jakob when we were saying "Goodbye"!!! He seems to be happy to see other faces than mine only ;) He is staying with our dear friends, who have two lovely children: a boy in Jakob's age and a girl, who is in love with Jakob, to be precise with his hair. I'm very lucky, Jakob has such a great company while I'm at work.

Voila, here are my first scrapbook pages! Jakob makes this cute face, when he sees birds through the window. We have a lot of blue jay and they are noisy. Jakob always is listening to them.
The first page is for following challenges (Anna is playing again!):
-ICSketches #56 ( a very talented Polish woman is in their Design Team!)

The picture on the second scrapbook page is my favorite. Jakob behaves like a dog. He holds the toy in his mouth and is crawling through the living room... I love this moment!

To complete the post, which should have a title "All about Jakob" I add a card, which I made for my mom to cheer her up. She has a broken foot, so we were thinking, if she sees the imprint of the sweet foot of her grandchild, the pain is not that strong! I'm sure, it helps!
